Airline Operations Agents: This is a role that is ideal for people with strong administrative experience and organizational skills, as it’s all about tracking the number of passengers, their luggage and how it is stowed, and the aircraft’s fuel.

Flight Dispatcher: Dispatchers share the responsibility of the safety of the flight with the airline captain, and work from the operations office. Their job is to evaluate flight data, weather data, and more to determine if a flight should proceed or not.

Aviation Meteorologist: Weather has a huge impact on the air travel industry, and it is up to aviation meteorologists to evaluate weather data, make accurate weather forecasts across the flight path at all altitudes, and provide this information to flight dispatchers and pilots. This information will determine flight paths and if a flight will be cancelled or grounded.
